RED CONNECTS

Have you ever had that one person or

friend that just stays connected 

even if you haven't seen them in ages

 Over the years or just  passing through.

Do you ever wonder what connected you.

Do you have a special connection that just feels right?

Did you ponder what it is that keeps you 

knitted tightly together..

                                                               

         

Here are two little storys that will

hopefully make you 

remember -

"Stay Connected"

 I came across two very endearing

passages to share.. 

I hope you enjoy...

An ancient Chinese Proverb- 

When you read it 

it wil conjure up a 

memory or moment

.Who was that in your life?

What path is it

     The Invisible Red Thread

                                                      "An invisible red thread connects 

those destined to meet, 

regardless of time, place, or circumstances. 

The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break.

"  -Ancient Chinese 

Proverb

Two..An adoring and special bond 

between an Innkeeper and her Guest..

  " The Red Chair Travels"

The red chair became a symbol, 

a metaphor for connections made across invisible boundaries.

My fondness for Cape Cod and Small Inns brought me to this endearing Blog.

Invite yourself to sit for a minute  -

 As it is said
.It is an open seat for reflection

What Bond ties you to that place or person..

Maybe you'll be reminded to reach out and Connect

You might change someones life...


Enjoy !!!

I Love Spring

Spring Time 

I was blessed to grow up in Anacortes

and the 

Beautiful San Juan Islands

Spring is always blooming with colors of the Skagit Valley

The Fields abound with 

ribbons of Tulips and Daffodils

 Each Spring as the Tulips come into full 

bloom

The air is filled with the aroma of 

fresh turned dirt and sea air.

 Anyone growing up there

can't deny the pull of the 

Skagit Flats

with Mt Baker adding to the beauty

After a trip thru the Tulips

 head south to Pikes Place market.

You will be enchanted by the sounds,smells

 and personalities of the market

 Farmers

 Flowers

Fresh Crab

And a stop at the Mother - Ship

"Starbucks"

A perfect Northwest Day

Take some one you care about

Reconnect 

Share your hometown with someone.

It will be a memory maker

Now Smell This

Bright,seductive and so many shapes.

Sultry, persuasive, romantic and oh so Expensive

No... Not Me!

If I were to be locked in Nordstroms over night

I would stay by the Perfume Counter and

simply try every scent on.

My New Favorite  Bond # 9

Infusing the sights and sounds of New York with Artistry

45 Different Scents-- 45 Different Bottles

Where do I begin

How do I choose

It made me wonder why I picked perfumes with certain notes.

Then I realized it all had to do with what ignites my memories..

Have you ever noticed how a certain smell can bring up the

most vivid memory, like opening a treasure chest of life.

4 Little Baby's. Intoxicating Simplicity

High School Dances and Romances

 Grandfather's Backyard and Pool

Summer Days living on a Island

and these are just a few..

So as I wander the aisles, in a very cheerful way!

 I smell like  the 10 tester bottles that I have applied.

I am smiling.

I smell the scents of my life

I am thankful
